All the love stories in Greek mythology that ended in tragedy

1 Orpheus

Legend has it that orpheus, the son of the Muse, is good at playing the harp. He attracted the whole universe with his beautiful piano sound, and rocks, flowers, the sea, men, women and children, and even wild animals were intoxicated by his piano sound.

Later, orpheus fell in love with Eurydice, and Eurydice was killed by a poisonous snake. Orpheus vowed to go to hell to chase Eurydice. This time, the patron saint of Eurydice was awed by orpheus's music, so he agreed to terminate death pact and send his lover back to earth. Because orpheus violated the dogma, orpheus should not peek at his lover Eurydice when crossing the border of hell, so he lost his lover forever. Death is a mysterious boundary inaccessible to mortals, and even orpheus's wonderful harp can't lift the veil of death.

2 Artemis

Poseidon had a son named Oliver. Olivan was born as tall and strong as his father. But he doesn't like living in the sea. Instead, he often comes to Shan Ye to climb mountains and hunt. However, he is Poseidon's son, so he can walk like a fly even at sea.

Accompanied by Olivan all day is a hound named Sirius. It is as brave as its owner, always rushing to the front when hunting, and always standing in front of Olivan when encountering wild animals.

For a long time after that, Olivan often met the moon god and Artemis, the goddess of hunting. The two were quickly attracted by each other's elegance and superb hunting skills. Later, they often walked in the mountains together, climbed cliffs and climbed dangerous peaks, and talked about everything.

All this made Apollo very angry. He knew Artemis was a stubborn girl, and persuasion would not impress her at all. Apollo was cruel and came up with a deadly trap.

One day, Olivan "flew" at sea as usual, ready to go ashore to hunt. His whole body is submerged except his head.

Apollo and themis happened to fly across the sea.

"Sister, the somebody else say you wear Yang kung fu. How about we have a game today? "

Artemis thinks that only Olivier's archery can compare with her, so she doesn't care about her brother at all!

"Well, what did you say?"

"Look, that little black spot is a stone, just shoot it." Apollo knew that his sister's eyesight was not as good as his own, and he couldn't see clearly what the black spot was.

"No problem!" His voice did not fall, but he heard a whoosh. A sharp arrow was neither biased nor inclined, and it was a small black spot.

"Elder sister, you really live up to your reputation. Brother, I never dare to compare with you again. " Say that finish, Apollo quietly left.

Artemis was very proud. She landed at sea and wanted to see the shooting target. But what she saw was Olivain, who was shot in the head, lying quietly on the water. Before she could say a word to his sweetheart, she was dead.

My favorite person was shot dead by my own arrow, and Artemis fainted. Hearing the news of the tragic death of his master, Sirius cried bitterly all night. He didn't even look at other people's food, and in a few days he left with Olivan.

This tragedy made Zeus cry. He collected Allvine's body, lifted him to the sky and became Orion. We can't be together all the time before we die, and finally we will be together forever with Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Sirius also won the sympathy of Zeus with his loyalty, ascended to heaven and continued to accompany his master. This is a dog. In order not to make Sirius lonely, Zeus also specially found a partner for him-a puppy. Zeus knew that Olivan liked hunting best before he died, so he put a small prey-Scorpio around him.

Therefore, themis never saw Apollo again. No matter how Apollo chased his sister and wanted to apologize to her, Artemis always left before he arrived. Since then, the moon and the sun no longer intersect, which is also the reason why the sun and the moon are not in the sky together in Greek myths and legends.

3 Apollo

Daphne

Apollo, the sun god, laughed at eros, the little god of love, after killing the python. The humiliated eros shot a golden arrow at Apollo, which made him fall in love with Daphne at first sight. Then shoot Daphne with a silver arrow to make her refuse love. Apollo chased Daphne crazily, and Daphne fled to her father's river crazily, begging him to change her appearance to avoid Apollo's love. Penez agreed to her daughter's request and turned her into a laurel tree.

Apollo, who lost his first love, refused to change his mind, kissed the laurel tree and cried, declaring it his sacred tree, and the laurel tree became his symbol. It is said that there is another saying: Daphne worships Di Anna, the goddess of the moon, and is bent on being a holy virgin and following Di Anna. But Apollo pestered her and Daphne turned to luna for help. Luna promised her that if Apollo only touched her, even her fingertips, she would become a laurel. In the end, there will be an ending similar to the last one.

Calea, the fairy of Shui Ze.

She fell in love with Apollo. Shui Ze's love for the sun is a tragedy. Apollo ignored her, allegedly because she once buried one of Apollo's lovers alive. The fairy sat on the ground, not eating or drinking, and her sad eyes followed the sun god in the sky. I don't know how many days later, Calea gradually connected with the earth and became a sunny flower (marigold, sunflower and the like).

Beautiful boy Yashintons, he is a man.

Apollo loved Ganymede as Zeus loved him. Asintos loved hunting and sports, so Apollo accompanied him diligently, holding fishing nets and hounds for teenagers like servants. One day, two people were playing a game of throwing discus (or hoop) in the mountains. Apollo used his magic power, and the discus flew high and far, splitting a white cloud in half. Yaxintos chased happily and was hit on the forehead by a bouncing discus. Another way of saying it is: Feros, the god of the west wind, also likes Asintos. Out of jealousy, he blew the discus with a gust of wind. When Apollo caught up with him, he was very sad. A hyacinthus orientalis flower grew out of a pool of blood. This flower is named after "Yasintos", and the words "Ai" on the petals are engraved with Apollo's eternal sigh and regret.

4 Medea

Mithijia, also translated as Medea. In Greek mythology, she was an enchanted princess of Kocsis Island and a descendant of Helius, the sun god. She fell in love with Prince Jason who came to the island to look for golden fleece.

In order to help Jason get golden fleece, Medea used her magic to help Jason accomplish the impossible task set by her father, provided that Jason would marry her. After getting golden fleece, Medea and Jason embarked on a journey back to Greece together. Medea's father heard the news of her escape and sent her brother to find her. Medea killed his brother, chopped up his body, divided it into several pieces, and threw it all over the mountain, leaving his father and the chasing officers busy collecting the body to delay the time and leave with Jason and his party.

After Jason returned to China, Medea killed his uncle who usurped the throne. Jason regained the throne, but began to fear Medea's magic and cruelty. Later, Jason turned from love to hate, and Medea killed her two young children. At the same time, she killed Jason's new love with poison clothes and fled from Jason. Jason also died of depression.

5 theseus

Minos' son, Law Gross, was murdered in Attica. Minos set out to avenge his son, which brought great disaster to the residents there. The gods only let it suffer from drought and plague, making it desolate. So an Oracle was sent from the temple of Apollo, saying that if the Athenians could calm Minos' resentment and gain his understanding, the disaster in Athens and the anger of the gods would be lifted immediately. The Athenians made peace with Minos and promised to send seven pairs of virgins to Crete as a tribute every nine years. Minos received it

After the virgin, he was put into the famous maze of Crete, and then Minotaur, a half-cow monster, took him away.

Children kill. It's time for the third tribute. Boys and girls face a terrible and cruel fate. Their parents

He accused Aegos of being a curse, saying that he let illegitimate children inherit the throne, but he was indifferent to other people's children.

People slaughter. The complaint reached theseus's ears, which made him very sad. When everyone was gathering, he stood up and announced

Cloth is willing to go, and there is no need to draw lots. The Athenians appreciated his bravery and selflessness. When Egos heard about it, he rushed over.

He was repeatedly asked to change his mind, but theseus was adamant. He comforted his father and promised that he would be able to.

Subdue the minotaur, and don't let other boys and girls get hurt. In the past, ships carrying virgins hung black sails and sailed for.

Crete. Now Egers heard his son's proud speech and gave the helmsman a white sail. He ordered that if theseus was flat.

When Ann comes back, she will change the black sails on the ship into a white sail, or hang a black flag to show failure.

After the lottery, young theseus first came to the temple of Apollo with the boy and girl drawn by lottery and asked in the name of everyone.

Apollo presented an olive branch wrapped in white wool as a gift of protection. Then, they came to the seaside together and boarded.

On a sad boat. Delphi's Oracle told him that he should choose the goddess of love as his guide. Theseus, though not.

Understand what this means, but he still offered sacrifices to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and the result was very effective. Because theseus fixed Akma.

Ritter Island, when brought to King Minos, this beautiful young man won the king's charming daughter.

Adriano's love, she confided her love to theseus secretly, and gave him a thread ball, and taught him to put one of the thread balls.

Tie the end to the entrance of the maze and follow the rolling line until the ugly minotaur survives. Besides,

She gave theseus a sword to kill Minotaur.

Minos sent theseus and others into the maze. Theseus went ahead. He defeated Minotaur with two treasures.

Fortunately, I walked out of the maze along the line with the virgins. When they came out, Ariadne fled with them.

Theseus listened to her advice and cut through all the Crete seabed, so Minos could not catch up with them. After boarding the boat, he

The children felt that there was no problem, so they sailed to dia island without any worries. This island was later called Naxos. very

Theseus suddenly met Bacchus in his dream. Dionysus claimed that Ariadne was engaged to him a long time ago, and he threatened theseus.

If we don't leave Ariadne behind, it will bring disaster.

Theseus grew up with his grandfather, who warned him to fear the gods, so he was afraid that God would only take it out on him.

I had to leave the sad princess on a desolate island and go back by boat. That night, Bacchus took Ariadne

Take it to Mount Drivos. When he reached the mountain, he became invisible, and soon Ariadne disappeared quietly.

Theseus and his entourage were very sad and depressed because of the loss of Ariadne, so they forgot that the ship was still black.

Sail, no white sail. The ship sped to the coast of her hometown with a sad signal. Egos is on the coast.

Looking ahead, he suddenly saw a boat coming in the distance, with black sails hanging on it, thinking that his son was dead. He suddenly became desperate,

He jumped into the sea and drowned. Later, in memory of him, this sea was called the Ego Sea (Aegean Sea).

Love in Greek mythology is mostly a tragedy, so I thought so much for the time being.
